Originally posted by caliscouser What kind of shooting do you do? What are your requirements? Each lens you mentioned brings different things to the table.
I shoot a wide variety of subjects, but am covered with other great lenses at most ranges (100 macro, 60-250, 400 telemacro, etc). I do not fear weight or size and what I need is a great walking around lens for mostly urban landscapes and architecture, and occasional nature landscape. I also often focus on discreet urban scenes like a particular set of doors, benches, etc. Lastly, astrophotography is in my to do list.
I often proces images to a high key black and white style and am looking forward to finding the right lens to fill my kit below 40 or 60 mm.

Why the polarizer?
